Chapter 433: Chapter 391: No Jinxing Allowed

The group, exhausted from their journey, finally arrived at Witch Mountain. Everyone’s tightly wound nerves completely relaxed, and fatigue hit them all at once. Even Treasure Piggy, who usually woke up early, slept in until sun high in the sky.

A variety of bizarre sleeping poses played out, with drool soaking through a pillow.

"Achoo!"

Yu Zichuan sneezed and executed a Qinggong leap down from the rooftop.

Qing Shuang, who was guarding Bao Shu’s door, said to him, "Why did you spend the night outside?"

Yu Zichuan replied, "Watching the fun, fell asleep. I’m going to catch up on sleep. Got anything to eat?"

Qing Shuang went inside and brought him four pieces of pastry.

Yu Zichuan always ate pastries in even numbers.

Elsewhere, Meng Qianqian also woke up.

"What time is it?"

She mumbled sleepily.

"Almost midday."

Lu Yuan’s calm and alert voice sounded next to her.

Meng Qianqian jolted awake, sitting up in shock. "Did I sleep that long?"

What kind of grandson-in-law sleeps until noon on their first day arriving at the family’s home?

Disaster—she’d left a bad impression on her grandmother.

She lifted the covers to get out of bed, but Lu Yuan wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back. "Grandmother went out. You won’t find her even if you go pay your respects."

"She’s already gone... Then that means..."

Meng Qianqian was beside herself, "Why didn’t you wake me?"

Lu Yuan: "I tried, but you didn’t wake up."

Meng Qianqian: "..."

Meng Qianqian suspected he was lying, but she had no proof.

Glancing at the arm tightly wrapped around her, she coughed softly and said, "I need to go check on Changle. She’s frail and might not adapt well to the environment."

Lu Yuan released her.

Meng Qianqian got dressed, freshened up, and immediately headed to Shang Changle’s courtyard.

Just as she entered, Ban Xia was carefully combing and styling Changle’s hair.

Ban Xia was skilled; the intricate hairstyles she created were never repetitive.

Shang Changle adored them.

"Changle."

Meng Qianqian entered the room with a smile. "How did you sleep last night?"

Shang Changle quickly extended her arms and leaned into Meng Qianqian’s embrace, deeply breathing in her reassuring scent. "I slept well, but I missed you, sister."

Meng Qianqian gently stroked the top of her hair.

"She coughed once during the night," Ban Xia mentioned.

Shang Changle hurriedly explained, "Just once, it’s nothing to worry about."

Meng Qianqian felt her pulse and leaned over to listen to her lungs. "You’re fine."

Shang Changle smiled at Ban Xia. "See, what did I tell you?"

Ban Xia smiled back.

Za Muduo brought breakfast over, and Meng Qianqian called Shang Wuyou to come over and keep her company. She then went to check on the others.

Just as she left the courtyard, she spotted Ji Li standing under a big tree, holding a compass and murmuring mysteriously.

"Ji Li,"

Meng Qianqian called out to him, "Didn’t you go to Uncle Xu and Aunt Feng’er’s house last night?"

Ji Li replied with a hopeless expression, "I did. It was so boring. You’re all here, and I don’t know anyone there. I have no one to talk to. That’s it; I’m moving over here tonight."

By the main gate, Xu Shaoxuan—his head pounding from Ji Li’s endless chatter all night—thought: How polite are you?

"Alright."

Meng Qianqian didn’t refuse and turned her eyes toward Ji Li’s compass. "You’ve been staring at that compass ever since we entered Miaojiang. Did you divine something again?"

Ji Li replied cryptically, "Based on my calculations, chaos is about to break out in Miaojiang."

Meng Qianqian: "Stop jinxing things."

Ji Li sighed, "Alright! I suspect this compass is broken. Ever since I entered Miaojiang, it hasn’t moved at all. Did Chen Long get duped by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion and steal a fake compass for me as a wedding gift?"

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.

Chen Long approached them.

Ji Li was just about to confront him about the defective compass when he spotted Si Snake walking alongside Chen Long.

His eyes lit up. "Snake! You finally showed up! I’ve missed you so much, Commander Guard!"
